NOZZLE-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 11, 1920.

Application filed August 18, 1918. Serial No. 818,887.

To a?! whom it M ay concern:

Be it known that I, MICHAEL HAvEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Augeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Nozzle-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My object is to make a nozzle holder, and my invention consists of the novel features herein shown, described and claimed.

Figure 1 is a perspective of a nozzle holder embodying the principles of my invention in use.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the nozzle holder with the supportin arm straight up, the view being taken loolzing in the direction indicated by the arrow 2 in Fig. 3.

Fig. 3 is a side elevation looking in the direction indicated by the arrow 3 in Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a rear end elevation looking in the direction indicated by the arrows 4 in Figs. 2 and 3.

Fig. 5 is a sectional detail on the line 5-5 of Fig. 1.

The base 1 is a flat T-shaped plate adapted to rest upon the ground. The bearing 2 is formed integral with the rear end of the plate 1 and is adapted to receive the hose 3. The bearing 4 extends upwardly from the forward end of the plate 1 half way between the transverse center and one side. adjustable supporting arm 5 fits inside of the bearing 4, and a wing nut bolt 6 is inserted through the lower end of the supporting arm 5 and through the bearing 4, so that by 0 erating the nut the supporting arm may lie swung upon the bolt as a pivot. The supporting arm bearing 7 extends laterally from the upper end of the arm 6 and is adapted to receive the hose 3. The nozzle 8 upon the hose 3 will pass through the bearings 2 and 7.

In the practical operation the nozzle holder is placed in the desired position upon The the lawn or the like. The hose 3 is placed in position by passing the nozzle 8 through the bearings 2 and 7 and then the wing nut 6 is adjusted to swin the nozzle 8 to the desired elevation relative to the round.

Various changes may be ma e without departing from the spirit of my invention as claimed.

I claim:

1. An adjustable nozzle holder including a T-shaped base plate, the end of the longitudinal arm of said plate extending upwardly and provided with an opening to receive a hose; a lug extending vertically upwardly from the other end of the plate at right angles to said upwardly extending end; an arm pivotally mounted on said lug adapted to extend upwardly and outwardly, the outer end of said arm being bent laterally at right angles thereto and provided with an opening, through which openin the hose nozzle is extended and in whic said nozzle is held; and means for holding the arm on the lug in various angular positions.

2. A nozzle holder including a T-shaped base plate, the end of the longitudinal mem-' ber of said plate extending upwardly and provided with an opening to receive a hose, a lug extending vertically from the other end of said plate opposite said upwardly extending end and at right angles thereto, an arm, a bolt for pivotally mounting said arm on said lug, a wing nut screwing on said bolt for holding said arm at various angular ositions, the outer end of said arm extend-v mg laterally at right angles thereto and provided with a hole through which the nozzle of the hose is inserted and in which said nozzle is held.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.

MICHAEL HAVEY.
